Sagamore Recreation Area — Attraction in Bourne

Great views of the canal day or night but that's about all that's good. The foul mouth beer guzzling fisherman litter the area with cigarette butts, nip bottles and F bombs. The neighbors use it as their own private property. They're allowed to park cars and even commercial vehicles for days, even weeks on end. The townie kids hang around in their cars drinking beer and smoking pot without fear. BUT, should you be a dying man who prefers to spend his remaining time enjoying the views from the safety of his own car you're not welcome. First, one of the neighbors told me all about his best buddy Lt so and so. When that didn't scare me off he started reporting me to the police as a possible over dose. Then, he got the rangers in on the act. One of the rangers told me anyone can park a vehicle for as long as they want. You just can not be in it. Apparently, that's not enforced with the drunken fishermen sleeping it off in their pickups. Now, the State Police have begun hitting my car with high beams and the spotlight. I'm glad to know the upper Cape is so crime free that so much resources can be put to use to satisfy...

You would think that there would be quite a bit to do at the location especially with the word recreation- not the case. That said, it's a great place to park and explore the canal. The canal has places where you could use the restroom and find some shade on a hot summer day of needed be. It was a wonderful walk all the way down to the beach! Round trip 8+ miles. Enjoy yourself on a great canal walk, run or bike ride. It's beautiful but can get busy in season.

If you have found my review helpful please give me a thumbs up 👍 and feel free to follow me for...

I had a wonderful time here, people who visit the bike trail and woods trail are super friendly and interactive with even out of towners (like me).

The bike path is super long and overseas the canal under the Bourne and sagamore bridge.

Tons to do in the area if you're an outdoorsy person who enjoys boats, fishing, hiking, and meeting new people, and eating sea food.

I definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to get away for the day...
